I really am not a pro at this. Especially on bass, but I'd suggest you try to get the loudest sound of the mic, without the sound distorting, or the magnets of the mic fucking up the frequencies... And if you have more than one pickup on the bass, I'd propably adjust the louder mic to the level of the quieter one. So that when you switch between them, you'll get the same amplitude from both of them...

Hopefully someone will correct me, since I'm just throwing shit out there and have no idea what I'm talking about.
